Show Notes
Welcome to your financial fellowship! In this inaugural episode, your host Ryan Inman breaks down what the podcast is all about. He also discusses where he went and why he walked away from a thriving fee only planning practice that served more than 500 physician families. Burnout, a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, the life planning work and transitioning every client family to somebody he trusted completely.

The first attending paycheck changes everything, and this episode gives it an order. Ryan walks the new attending money waterfall, starting with the double up rule: live on twice your resident salary, cap it there, and let every dollar above that line flow down in a fixed order. The match, reserves, insurance, student loans, retirement accounts, then goals. Get the order right and the attending years get much simpler.
Diane has $4.3 million, zero debt, a paid-off house, and a 95 out of 100 on her Financial Health Assessment. It is the highest score we have ever given on this show.
Pay the mortgage off early, or keep it and invest the difference? Daniel Wrenne's first warning is about the advice itself: anyone who tells you to always pay it off is giving bad advice. A 3 percent mortgage from 2020 is one conversation. A 7 percent mortgage from last year is the exact opposite. We run the numbers, and the feelings, on both, after looking at the whole picture: tax shelters maxed, savings rate, the rate on the debt, and cash flow. Have a question?
